HP OfficeJet 7510
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just bought this printer and am having all kinds off issues installing this printer.

 

I downloaded the driver for Windows 10 (x64)  [both the Basic Drivers package and the Full Feature Software and Drivers]: 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-officejet-7510-wide-format-all-in-one-printer-se...

 

 

I have tried installing with the download OJ7510_72.exe and keep getting failing installation when I try to install.

I have also tried adding the printer driver directly from an unpacked OJ7510_72.exe. And get the following error:

I have also tried installing with Windows 8 compatability, still has the same issue. 

 

 

 

Looking at the printer after the install I get this:

Some information on the properties of the printer:

The print queue gets created during the install but the printer doesnt get installed

I have uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted a couple times already. 

 

 

 

Been very unhappy with HP products lately
